The St. Louis area is forging new frontiers in innovative and exciting industries, such as plant and medical sciences, information technology, and advanced manufacturing. Greater St. Louis is the headquarters for 21 Fortune 1000 companies, eight of which are in the Fortune 500. We’re also home to some of the country’s largest privately held companies, including Enterprise Rent-A-Car and UniGroup, parent company of Mayflower Transit and United Van Lines, and to some of the fastest-growing businesses in the country. Situated at the confluence of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers, we have a tradition of leadership in transportation, distribution, and logistics. In fact, the St. Louis region was ranked no. 2 on Expansion Management and Logistics Today’s “Top 10 Logistics Metros” list for 2007. We also are major players in other long-established industries. We’re a major education center, a leader in aerospace and defense, a large financial services hub, and a growing center for plant and life sciences among others. With a business climate primed for continued growth, we look forward to more success in both established and emerging industries.
